Beautiful day for some fall golf

Great day to catch some final warm weather and have a good time with a friend. Course is in good shape, could use some tree trimming this fall to push back the overgrown trees. Great value for the price. Thx

Poorly maintained course

Nice people at the course but course was poorly maintained,

lost balls in the fairway due to grass not being properly maintained.

Some fairways aren’t much more than 20 feet wide.

Sign posts were also confusing on what direction to tee off.

Where Are We

First you need to survey the course as the markers do not tell you how to get to some of the holes. Second be ready to loose a few balls not to water but to other golfer's and to the terrain as its bad. The fairways are separated by a thin row of trees and sometimes you end up on another fairway. There so close that we had golfer's on each side of us lo for there balls on our fairway and vice versa. Course is to small of a footprint for this site. And because of heavy rain from storm a week earlier it was extremely hard to enjoy only good thing that came about was the girls asking us if we needed anything. Good job girls. Would I play there again only if it was at half price or free. No plans to return any of us four golfer's. Sorry but not worth the drive or money.

Clinton Rivers Finest

I grew up golfing all over the Clinton Township area. I love the wide variety of courses that you can access in this particular area alone, but Fern Hill is the best of both worlds in my opinion. If you play it right it can be easy, if you don't it can be challenging. It's a fair course for a beginner golfer, and a course that you can approach with strategy as a better golfer. All in all, one of my favorite courses to golf on a weekly basis and in my opinion the best bang for your buck in the area.
